The Ultimate Skylight Solution for R-Panel/High-Rib Roofs

No, sub-framing is not needed. The curb length is designed so that the upslope and downslope attach directly to the purlins. The long sides of the curb overlap with the existing panel and are secured using stitch fasteners, similar to how each roof panel is secured on the rest of the roof.

Yes, we provide all necessary mastic, sealants, and fasteners with each skylight. No additional accessories are required except the necessary tools.

Remove the existing LTP skylight and clean all sealants from the perimeter. The RS36 is designed to have a similar footprint with enough upslope flange to slide under the panel on the upslope. Once this is complete, the curb remains flashed to the roof, making it easy to remove and replace the glazing as needed.

Yes, this system is perfect for both new construction and the retrofit or replacement of existing LTP skylights.

The upslope flange slides under the roof panel, while the side and downslope flanges are installed over the roof panel, creating a shingled effect. The upslope also features an integrated cricket to divert water to the adjacent sides of the curb. The side flanges overlap the panel ribs, reducing the condition where fasteners are in the flat/water plane. Finally, the curb is fully welded and tested before shipment.

The fall screen is factory-installed beneath the dome to prevent long-term degradation associated with exposure to moisture.

We use a special plastic engineered for daylighting products, yielding a 72% light transmittance. Achieving 100% light transmittance is only possible with a clear opening with no material between the sun and the interior, so 72% is considered excellent.

A double dome design improves thermal properties in two ways: it helps reduce heat buildup from sun exposure by creating a thermal barrier between the domes, and it helps retain warmth inside the building during cooler months for the same reason.

The dome size on a standard unit is approximately 26″ x 111″ and 9″ tall.

The aluminum model weighs 55-60 lbs depending on single or dual glazing, while the steel unit weighs 100-105 lbs.

We use prismatic acrylic plastic with a white tint for 100% haze and light diffusion.

We offer a 20-year warranty on the aluminum curb base and a 5-year warranty on the glazing. The steel curb has a 1-year warranty on the curb and a 5-year warranty on the glazing.

We provide an installation guide on our website and are always available to discuss specifics to help prepare your team for a seamless installation.

It’s simple. Remove the cap flashing and glazing from the existing curb, clean as much sealant as possible, then use the supplied dome, sealant, and fasteners to reinstall the cap flashing. It’s quick and straightforward.
